I don't disagree with this graph but in different context you can also divide Europe in to western European countries and eastern European countries according to their alignment during the majority of the previous century. In that case, Bulgaria, Poland and the Baltic states all belong to the group of eastern European state. I think this is the context in which OP meant the fact that mainly western countries are surveyed. I often see headlines mentioning Europe or Europeans and only refer to the EU and it's citizens, in the same 'wrong' way.

It's the sheer volume of b2c goods coming in from outside the EU, they just can't check it all.

Kuddo's for the bias disclaimer & adding in the graph. (Edit: typo)

It really is becoming an orange Gestapo. Quick fact, Gestapo (Geheime Staatspolizei) is an abbreviation for Secret State Police. Secstapo doesn't sound as good tho.

Also, I recently came across this list. Might be useful for the American freedom fighters.

I am really hoping this will mark the end of the EU shifting right. We're much better off in the center.

Well at least this one speaks out, we should appreciate it while it still happens.

I really hope the blue states will be able to protect and shelter at least a part of all the people being persucated. Nice to see this governer giving a good example
